ScrapMuch? Kit Club Challenge for May!

Guess who's back?  Back again?
Kerry's back! Tell a friend! :D

And she's back with her entry into the ScrapMuch? May kit club sketch challenge!

Here is the sketch:

And here is my entry into the challenge!

I'm a little peeved about the fact that you can barely see "Washington DC" but I really didn't want to have to rip it all up and find a new background paper, so I tried to frame it ... I think that made it worse. LOL

Ah well, we live and learn!

Also, you see that stitching in the bottom left hand corner? That's from my new to me sewing machine! It's a Kenmore (from Sears) and it's computerized and it makes sewing SEW MUCH EASIER!!! I never realized how much time I'd save simply by not having to manually adjust a ton of settings!

Okay, ramble over!

My Opinion on the Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive

... And my opinion begins with WHY HAVEN'T I EVER USED THIS BEFORE???

No seriously.
If you don't have a bottle - Get to you local Michael's, Joanns, Hobby Lobby, or whatever craft store you have near you, download a coupon to your phone and get it  at 40 - 65% off depending on what sales you have going in your area.

I happened to luck out and find a ton of bottles in my local Michael's clearance section. Picked up 4 bottles based on the rave reviews this product has received in the past.

I now understand the reason behind the rave reviews. This stuff is perfect for permanent paper adhesion to just about anything. It bonds faster than I can sing the first verse of any song. LOL

My go to wet glue was previously Aleene's Tacky glue.

Although I haven't given up on Aleene's since I still do fabric stuff and it's GREAT for that, I will definitely be using the Scotch Quick Dry over Aleene's when it comes to paper application purposes. :)

Anyway, I just had to let you know about this stuff in case you'd never seen or heard of it before! I've put my huge bottle of Aleene's back to my "tool" stock shelf for the time being. I doubt I'll run out of the Scotch Dry glue anytime soon with all the bottles I bought! :D

ScrapMuch? April Kit Club Challenge Entry

Hello World! :)

So I'm aware that April didn't turn out to be as craftily productive as I intended... BUT here is an entry into the ScrapMuch? April kit club challenge to make up for it. LOL

There's not much left of my kit that I would use (as I don't really do Easter-y type things), but the stuff I did have that I could use has been used in this challenge entry.

I should also mention that before this challenge was posted, I used up a bunch of cardstock and patterned paper from the kit to make some tags for a swap I'm in this month. :P

Okay, enough chit chat - Here it is!

Apologies for the photo quality - Using the old camera since the newer one is currently set up on my non portable tripod. LOL
Lazy to the extreme!  You know how when you have something set up JUST right and you don't want to change it because you know you'll never get it set up exactly the same way again? That's how my main camera is set up right now on my tripod. :P

Anyway, thanks for checking in - My viewers mean the world to my crafty life; I have no one else really to craft for except you guys! :)
